Koh phi phi is Awesome!

So i have left patong beach in puket and came to koh phi phi. I'm really glad i did too! Koh phi phi is a small island that is very tropical. Its so small that you can walk pretty much anywhere really quick. There is nothing motorized here, ppl get around on pedal bikes. That bars here are pretty sweet and there are beach partys every night! This island is wayyyyy less commercial than all the other places i've been, way less pushy sales people too. My first night I went out by myself and met some fun irish people, i love partying with the irish! We ended up at a beach party at the end of the night. That night i had 3 buckets and about 4 beers so i wasnt feelin to good the next morning. The next day Kit and Steph came over so I kinda showed them around. The 3 of us went out for some buckets last night but called it an ealy night because today we went on a 8 hour island tour which included alot of snorkeling and kyacking. I went to the beach where the movie "the beach" with leo dicaprio was filmed, it was pretty nice. I saw alot of crazy looking fish today and a shark swam right beside me which was pretty sweet. O ya and we went to a place called mokey beach and there were monkeys all over the beach, i fed some of them and got a few pics too! There is a huge beach party tonight with 4 dj's and buckets are 2 for the price of one so its gonna get a lil messy:S I'm gonna start my open water diving course tomorrow night so i can get in at least 2 dives here. I think I'm gonna stay til Wednesday. Milka, Kit, and Steph all leave on Sunday so that kinda sucks, they are all really nice and i had some good times with them. The guys from calgary are commin here tomorrow afternoon so that worked out pretty good actually. On wednesday I'm gonna go to a place called Krabi and stay a day or 2 there, then Railey beach for a day then after that i have to do a boarder run to malaysia to get my passport stamped. You can only stay in a country for 30 days straight so to make my trip work i gotta quickly go down to malaysia.

Jackson,

Ward passed on the link. Looks like you are having a great time. Ko Phi Phi was by far my favourite place on my trip last year. Uli's and Pum were great places to eat there. And it's so laidback. Raillay was my second favourite. If you want some clothes, the Tailor in Raillay was pretty good, and his brother has a shop on the mainland there which was good too.
